New Megalo show ‘truly international’

MEGALO Print’s much-anticipated online exhibition “Relief” is up and running today (May 13).

With exhibits from as far afield as India, the US and north Macedonia, and of course Australia, it is truly an international show.

‘Time’ 2020, art installation by Alexander Lazarkov (Instagram @alexanderlazarkov) from Bulgaria. The installation refers to the bending of the line of time caused by gravity.

A curated exhibition, “Relief” showcases a selection of 40 contemporary artists from more than 200 entrants working with relief printmaking internationally – and by no coincidence, 2020 is Megalo’s 40th anniversary.

‘Return Of The Wattlebird (After The Fire)’ 2020, by Julian Laffan (julian-laffan.squarespace.com) from Australia. The work depicts a significant individual who regularly visits Laffan’s studio in Braidwood NSW.

Works have been created using relief processes such as woodcut, linocut and wood engraving as the primary medium.

They can be viewed as a fast-moving slideshow that takes viewers through the whole show or as a pdf catalogue where the work and artists’ statements may be viewed at leisure.

“Relief,” at megalo.org/relief-online-exhibition until June 13.
